Finding Reserves
Book/Media Items
Go to the Course Reserves section of the USF Libraries Catalog. Search by instructor name, course number, author, or title. If the item has not already been checked out, it will be available to you at the Library Services Desk.
Most course reserves are available for 3 hour, in Library use only. There are a few exceptions that allow for 1 day, 3 day or 7 day loans. These will be listed in the course reserves catalog. Reserves have a $1 per hour late fee, $10 max.
Electronic Reserves (e-reserves)
E-reserves can be accessed through the PRESTO Course Reserve link in your Canvas course.
The Reserve Collections include:
- Course Reserves (Book and Media)
- Media Permanent Reserves (MR Lab)
- Textbook Affordability Reserves
Course Reserves are items placed on reserve by professors and instructions which may include their textbooks, additional research materials and media items such as movies and music CDs.
Media Permanent Reserves (MR Lab) are a collection of some courses that are offered online and via television which include copies of the lectures and programs.
Textbook Affordability Reserves is a cooperative program between the USF Bookstore and the USF Library with the participation of the textbook publishers. This collection includes textbooks for courses where there are more than 150 total enrolled students and the publisher has donated the applicable textbook.
